Girlfriend on bed, available light

Hi all,

I'd like to know what you think about this pic I took tonight using my 6D and 24-105L and using natural light only.

^^^ I really like it. I think the use of "available" light works really well because it is realistic and gives a natural representation of the mood/setting. Well done!

Here is an available light pic of my own. Canon 50mm, 1.4

Everything on the left is distracting. The bunny has to go, cause it's the only warm object in a cool picture so it draws too much attention.

No reason to crop the feet out. No reason to include the side of the bed in the picture.

I like the negative space on top. Shift her to the right and make the frame light the only horisontal line, framing all the vertical lines out.

Thanks William for your kind comment! I quit like your availbale light picture, the side light creates a nice skin texture

Thanks a lot for this very detailed critique. At first the bunny did not bther me but after you told me it was the only warm object in the setting I keep seeing it and it now bothers me!

In theory I agree with you composition remarks but we had just received our new bed and lights settings and I wanted to show the setting (I should have explained the context in my original post)
